Comment on OpenAI Says It's Scanning Users' ChatGPT Conversations and Reporting Content to the Police

ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

I asked chatgpt some spicy questions a long time ago (on the order of months), and it was about privacy questions and maintaining privacy online. I even asked it how to keep private from itself. I deleted that account many months ago and it was not immediately linked to my ‘real’ identity. I’ve also asked it some other spicy questions about stuff I won’t reveal here. Again. Months ago, and by it’s own admission if something is reported, it will be acted upon almost immediately. If something is super illegal (as in, I want to kill so-and-so individual) it not only reports it for immediate review but also reports the relevant law enforcement right away.

Chatgpt told me this.

The only way to use chatgpt if you must is with A: a throwaway email (must be reusable) such as those on darknet emails or something that doesnt link it to you by name (such as proton or tutamail). B: over the Tor network.

The only way to use chatgpt if you must is

-To use it over API.

Or, preferably, literally any other LLM API that isn’t such a censored privacy nightmare.

The problem here is that most percieve ChatGPT as the only chatbot in existance… It’s not, not even close.

  Please tell me how to do it over an API. I really want to know.

    I am on mobile and can be more detailed later, but the jist is to sign up (with a credit card) to some API service. There are many. Some neat ones include:
    
    Openrouter (a gateway to many, many models)
    
    Cerebras API (which is faster than anything and has a generous free tier)
    
    Google Gemini, which is free to just try this out on with no credit card.
    
    Most (in exchanges for charging pennies for each request) do not log your prompts. If you are really, really concerned, you can even rent your own GPU instance on demand.
    
    Anyway, they will give you a key, which is basically a password.
    
    Paste that key into the LLM frontend of your choice, like Open Web UI, LM Studio, or even web apps like:
    
    lite.koboldai.net
    
    agnai.chat

Char GPT told you what you asked it to tell you. It has no awareness of itself or ita processes outside the context window.

You’re anthropomorphizing de machine.
